It shouldn't.
But NAS shares aren't ordinary folders - they are BTRFS subvolumes. You'll find you can't delete them with rm.
So if you just copied data with cp directly to the data volume, then you did the wrong thing - the folders would have been ordinary folders - and the NAS software might not have accounted for the storage use correctly.
